We avail the services of third parties to provide donation facilities by the means of cheque, credit/debit card payments or electronic fund transfers. While your information may be shared with these third parties, we make stringent efforts to require all third-party service providers to hold personal information in strict confidence.

• Required by Law:

If any government or legal bodies require any information from us under the purview of a law or legal compliance, we may go ahead and disclose the same.
